‘My Oh My’

When I was getting really into typography, I started selling prints on etsy to give people access to what I was creating. I saw this quote online somewhere and instantly loved it, so I set off to create a fun and cheery poster to bring it to life!

After complete Appareo, I wanted test it out to make sure it was market ready. I found this great quote about old books that would be perfect. Since Appareo was inspired by faded text in worn books and journals, it was very fitting.

This is a typographic poster I created in memory of my boyfriend, Will Stacey, who was KIA in 2012 during a deployment to Afghanistan. I wanted to create something that could represent him in a meaningful way. These words were in his in-case-of-death letter to his parents and have come to represent the kind of marine and man he was.
